Many of the world's deadliest conflicts are largely ignored -
becoming off-the-radar 'stealth conflicts'. How can this be
possible in a world with unprecedented levels of access to
information, and unprecedented levels of attention and resources
being devoted to foreign affairs? Virgil Hawkins reveals and
explains the highly distorted and assimilated responses to foreign
conflicts by major actors in the world. He examines the
agenda-setting processes of policy makers, the media, the public
and academics in relation to foreign conflicts. Using a vast array
of detailed examples, he systematically unravels the internal
dynamics and external influences experienced by these actors, and
in so doing he brings the academic agenda into the loop of the
conflict response agenda-setting process for the first time. With
agenda-setting research tending to focus on the question of why a
response to a particular event or issue occurred, this book
furthers research by focusing equally on why a response did not
occur. The volume is critically important in understanding why
actors do and do not respond to foreign conflicts.
